I was very lax with record keeping on it. It was enough Texas wildflower
honey and water to get a spg of 1.110 in a gallon primary. Forget what
yeast, but it may have been Flor Sherry, as my yeast picks were limited
then. I did not boil the honey, as I was afraid it might steal some of the
honey flavor that I love, and so it took some fining. Some bentonite did
the trick. It also went pretty dry for my taste so I back sweetened with
just a touch of invert sugar and sorbate. Been in the bottle about six
months now.
